Windows 7 tablets

[LongIslandTech]

Hi,

I do business in the medical field and the doctors use tablets to see patients. In the past I would use Dell or Lenovo with Windows 7. I am finding it increasingly difficult to find anything touch screen with Windows 7 on it anymore.

I tried the surface pro with 8.1- Nice device, buggy with the office application I am using.

We recently went with an Ipad with the app from the company. It works well but since its an Ipad app its very different. The Dell tablets that flip around look nice... but again... Windows 8.1 and compatibility issues.


Anyone know any company selling Windows 7 tablets anymore??

My guess is that most of the Windows tablets sold are Win 7 compatible.

Can't you erase Win 8.1 and install Win 7 Home premium ?

I guess I could. I wish they came with a Win 7 license as well. I hate to have to buy an OS license but I guess its not a bad idea. Prices have come down a bit. :thumbsup:

i wonder if there are W7 drivers for all these tablets...

Win7 native on a surface Pro -NO
Win7 on a atom Z3xxx tablet -NO
If you can manage to find a Tablet based off Bay Trail-M (Celeron N2xxx or Pentium N3xxx) then yes, you can have Win7

Win7 requires legacy baggage like PCI and VGA.

Won't you run into UEFI issues as well? Do these ship with secure bootloaders?
